Best Asiago Cheese Spinach Pasta Toss Recipes
FUSILLI WITH SPINACH AND ASIAGO CHEESE
Another GREAT side from Giada. The kids and I even eat this as a main dish when my husband is out of town. My VERY picky 2 and 4 year old devour this. Super easy, super healthy! I usually double the amount of tomatoes and the amount of spinach since it's seems like too much pasta and not enough veggies when made as stated. Wonderful!
